The Japanese army's temporary defense line gathered almost all the troops in Shaozuo's hands and half of the mine protection team.

As soon as they were defeated, the remaining 200 or so mine guards in the mine lost their command.

Although every devil in the mine protection team is an elite, his individual ability is very strong, and he is also very ruthless in killing people. But without command, these stragglers caused some trouble to a regiment at most, and they couldn't stop them from entering the mines.

Then the second battalion began to use the squad as a unit to eliminate the members of the devil mine protection team in the mine.

An hour later, the messy gunfire stopped, and Zeng Quan, who could only fight when he rushed into the mine himself, rushed out happily.

"Old Chief, the mine has been taken down! It's just that the casualties are a bit large. ”

"The first battalion of the main attack suffered nearly 300 casualties, the second battalion also suffered more than 200 casualties, and the third battalion was the smallest, only more than 100 people~ The whole regiment combined, with more than 700 casualties, of which nearly 400 soldiers were sacrificed, many of whom died fighting bayonets with the devil's mine protection team in the end. Those mine guards are really a bunch of old devils who kill people without blinking, and a few of us can't take too much advantage of them alone! ”

At the end, Zeng Quan directly began to scold, which shows how heart-wrenching these casualties are for him.

If Wang Ping was still the head of the regiment, such a large casualty would be enough to make him furious.

But Wang Ping was not angry this time, as the director of the military region's arsenal, although Wang Ping's rank was not promoted, his vision was much higher.

From being only responsible for one-third of an acre of land at the beginning, to now looking at the entire military region.

The casualties of more than 700 people are very large, but the contents of the copper mine are more valuable to the military region than these casualties.

Not to mention anything else, Zhou Wu alone is worth a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, or even more than a brigade.

"Go first and see what good things are in the mine, and then you will know whether the casualties of more than 700 people are worth it!" Wang Ping replied in surprise, and then walked to the mine.

Entering the mine, the first thing that caught Wang Ping's vision were two copper smelting furnaces that were still emitting black smoke.

"Good thing, when the time comes, the arsenal must build at least one such copper smelting furnace!" Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.

Then his eyes were drawn to a pile of copper ingots next to the furnace.

"Fifty catties of copper ingots, there are at least two hundred here, at least ten thousand catties of copper!"

"Do you know what that means! The bullet head of a bullet only needs a little more than four grams of copper, and a pound of copper can make at least a hundred bullets, and if all of these copper ingots cause bullets, it is a million bullets. ”

Although the Separate Brigade had sufficient ammunition, it was only for the rest of the Eighth Route Army. Compared to the devils who have perfect logistics supplies, that little logistics reserve is only enough for them to fight a medium-sized battle.

Therefore, one million rounds of ammunition is still an unimaginable number for Zeng Quan.

On the battlefield, even if a hundred bullets kill an enemy, 10,000 bullets can destroy at least 10,000 enemies.

Seeing Wang Ping's face affirmed, it didn't look like lying to himself. Zeng Quan immediately reacted and shouted happily: "Old Leader, don't say anything else, just with these copper ingots, it's worth it for us to fight here, and we make a lot of money!" ”

"Also, there must be more than two hundred copper ingots here, I estimate that there are three hundred, or even more."

At this moment, the guard platoon commander brought by Wang Ping from the arsenal suddenly rushed over with a smile on his face.

"Chief, I found it, Professor Zhou found it. In addition, there are many students with Professor Zhou, many of whom Wang An knows, and some of them are students of Professor Zhou, studying chemistry. Some are Wang An's classmates, who learn mechanics! ”

"Bring them all back, by the way, you just said, there are still Wang An's classmates here!" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked.

"There are more than a dozen of them, and they are all students of Professor Li!" The guard platoon commander immediately replied.

"I understand that there is a lot of equipment here, and it also needs mechanical personnel to maintain it. Lao Zeng, it seems that this time we really made a fortune! Wang Ping reacted suddenly.

Then he stared at the guard platoon commander in front of him and ordered: "Since there are mechanical talents and we have people, the equipment in the mine will definitely be able to be dismantled." You go and tell Wang An to organize his classmates to dismantle all the equipment in the mine, and we will move one after dismantling one! ”

"Lao Zeng, you sent people to organize all the absenteeism in the mine, and let them help us transport equipment and materials. As for the captured weapons, ammunition and vital supplies, we transport them ourselves. There are still three hours until dawn, and we will try to empty the entire mine before dawn! ”

After the order was issued, Wang Ping, together with the guards, and Zeng Quan continued to search the mine for valuable seizures.

In the end, he really found a lot of useful things.

There are 6,000 catties of high explosives that can be directly used to produce ammunition, nearly 10,000 pieces of ocean, more than 50 small yellow croaker, and a large amount of grain and other materials.

"Old leader, this time we really made a fortune. If nothing else, the seized grain alone was enough for us to eat in a lump for nearly two months. Not to mention the gold and silver we seized in the mine's main room, if the commander knew about it, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep all night! Zeng Quan, who didn't expect the devil to hoard so many things in a mine, couldn't help but sigh with emotion while being happy.

Then he continued to report: "By the way, the copper ingots that the devil has hoarded in the warehouse have been counted clearly, not two hundred yuan and ten thousand catties, but five hundred yuan and twenty-five thousand catties. ”

"We are so lucky, we learned from the absenteeism that in three days, the devil will transport the copper ingots that have accumulated for ten days to the Northeast, and now it is just cheaper for us!"

"Bring them all back, not a single copper ingot can be left for the devil." Wang Ping ordered happily.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who could already see some silver threads on his head was brought to Wang Ping's side by Wang An.

"Professor Zhou, if I'm not mistaken, you should be Professor Zhou, an expert in chemistry, whom Professor Li Xuebin often mentioned!"

It was obvious that Wang An had already introduced Wang Ping's identity to Zhou Wu, and Zhou Wu hurriedly said modestly: "Experts don't dare to be an expert, just a teacher who teaches." Unlike Director Wang, he was a hero who killed devils on the battlefield, and when he arrived at the arsenal, he also made contributions to the anti-Japanese cause! ”

Seeing that Wang Ping wanted to speak, Zhou Wu waved his hand directly, and then continued: "I know the purpose of your attack here, Director Wang, I am familiar with Li Xuebin, and being able to let him stay shows that you really have something to impress him." I'm in my sixties, and one leg is already in the coffin. I have been teaching books for most of my life, and I have always been calm and quiet. Now that the devil is here, let me teach too much, then I will also be enthusiastic! ”

"Director Wang, Wang An told me a lot of things, I agree to join your arsenal!"

"As for those students, I will take them with me to your arsenal. However, in the end, how many people you can keep depends on your ability. After all, they all have parents, and even their teachers can't force them to do something they don't want to do! ”

Wang Ping didn't expect the whole process to be so smooth, and he agreed to the other party before he could open his mouth.

However, this also made Wang Ping see that the intellectuals of this era have loved passionately, but they haven't found a way to vent!
